In the video, Luo Pingping appeared so clearly.
Duan Yisong was startled, and Shao Hui couldn’t help but smack the back of Duan Yisong’s head, retorting, “Your ghosts can drive!”
The “Luo Pingping” in the video was driving away!
Duan Yisong rubbed the back of his head and pouted. Sha Rou chuckled beside him. Who told Duan Yisong to scream when he saw Luo Pingping in the video? Speaking of which, the “Luo Pingping” in the screen was quite frightening. Everyone had a sense of awe for ghosts and gods in their bones, and seeing an identical face made them feel ghostly.
Long Xinyu, on the other hand, stared at the “Luo Pingping” in the screen, his face as deep as water.
He was shocked when he saw Luo Pingping the day before yesterday. Although he firmly believed that he had not seen wrongly, Long Xinyu was still somewhat suspicious. Now it proved that he was indeed not mistaken.
After hitting Duan Yisong, Shao Hui turned to Rao Xian for confirmation and said, “Captain, Luo Pingping is dead, right!”
Rao Xian looked at him speechlessly. It seemed that the “Luo Pingping” in the video had brought a considerable impact on everyone.
Long Xiuyu, who had been watching from the side, turned to Lu Ye and said, “Contact Li Family Company’s people and ask if Luo Pingping has any twin sisters!” Then he said to Long Xinyu, “From now on, whether you agree or not, you must have bodyguards.” His tone was very firm.

Sha Rou couldn’t help but poke Long Xiuyu: “In this situation, we can apply for police protection!”
Long Xiuyu looked at Sha Rou and said in a deep voice, “You should put more effort into investigating this woman. Luo Pingping is already dead. I don’t believe in ghosts and monsters. Whatever this is in the video, she is now a murderer. The police should do something. I don’t want to see my brother covered in blood like this again and receive those threatening curses!”
Sha Rou was choked!
Long Xiuyu continued unceremoniously, “Now I’ll give you another clue. Li Guang had a car accident last night, and the driver who hit him had a card with ‘Curse of the Undead’ on him. These things must be related.”
Sha Rou asserted: “Of course they are not related, so we need you to investigate. But whether or not the two boys outside the video are clearly targeting Long Xinyu, people have already died, you still suggest we apply for police protection, don’t let another Li Xu happen!”
Sha Rou’s words made Long Xiuyu think. Police protection was beneficial to Long Xinyu, but it would also make those who threatened Long Xinyu wary and restrict his own people, making it not so easy to find them.
While Long Xiuyu was still deliberating, Lu Ye had already communicated with the people from Li Family Company. He hung up the phone and reported to Long Xiuyu: “Li Guang’s secretary said that Luo Pingping has a sister named Luo Wenwen who is also signed to Li Family Company, but they are not twins, one year older than Luo Pingping.”
As he spoke, he tapped on his phone screen, and the other party sent Luo Wenwen’s information and photos. Everyone gathered around to look—well, how should I put it, Luo Wenwen and Luo Pingping had some similarities, but judging from their appearance alone, she was definitely not the same person as the girl in the video.
“This is not the same person, right? Is it just makeup or no makeup?” Duan Yisong was uncertain. The Luo Pingping in his memory was all on-screen images. Even the black-clothed boy in the parking lot video was more like Luo Pingping than Luo Wenwen, but the power of men’s makeup cannot be underestimated.
Sha Rou said uncertainly, “There is a big difference between whether a girl wears makeup or not, and what kind of makeup she wears, but—” Sha Rou paused and looked at Luo Wenwen in Lu Ye’s phone carefully again, “They really don’t look like the same person.”
Shao Hui also agreed. He pondered for a moment and said, “Sha Rou, I’ll take someone to verify the identity of the living, check the license plate number, and then meet this Luo Wenwen to see if there is anything suspicious. Report any situation to me at any time, I’ll take care of things here.”
“Okay.” Sha Rou responded, asked Lu Ye for Li Guang’s secretary’s phone number, and left with two police officers.
Long Xinyu originally wanted to go to the hospital to see Li Guang, but now that such a thing happened, he and Rao Xian were both stained with blood. Long Xinyu told Rao Xian to go to his house to take a shower and change clothes.
Shao Hui heard it, looked at the scene, and instructed Duan Yisong to follow the evidence. He himself wanted to follow Long Xinyu, partly to protect Long Xinyu, and partly because if these cases were related to Luo Pingping’s spirit, they might need to be investigated together. He needed to talk to Long Xinyu properly. He always felt that these cases happening around Long Xinyu were not coincidences, but Long Xinyu, covered in blood, needed to be cleaned up.
When Long Xiuyu saw that Long Xinyu had a police officer following him, he asked Lu Ye to arrange two bodyguards to accompany Long Xinyu first. Long Xinyu did not refuse.
Long Xinyu beckoned Rao Xian to go to his house.
Rao Xian actually wanted to go home to change clothes, but he felt that Long Xinyu’s face didn’t look good, and Rao Xian was also a little worried that Li Guang had just had a car accident, so he silently sat in Long Xinyu’s car.
Shao Hui and the bodyguards also got into the car, protecting Long Xinyu’s car one in front and one behind.
Long Xinyu lived in a high-end apartment complex in the city. Several people got out of the car and walked towards the complex. With bodyguards closing the road in the back and the police guarding the front, Long Xinyu had a feeling of being surrounded by people. He always felt that his life had taken a turn somewhere!
Before, when Long Xinyu said he was going back to his apartment, Shao Hui thought it was an ordinary small apartment. Who knew that after following Long Xinyu into the complex, Shao Hui realized that Long Xinyu must have misunderstood the word “apartment.” The facilities and landscaping of the complex were excellent, almost like a garden scenic spot.
The group entered the unit door, walked through the well-designed small hall, and waited for the elevator on the first floor.
The elevator quickly arrived on the first floor. The door opened, and a woman wearing sunglasses and dragging a large suitcase walked out, brushing past them.
The group entered the elevator. There was a fragrance inside, probably from the woman just now. At this time, Long Xinyu swiped his card, and the elevator directly displayed the floor before quickly going up.
Arriving on the 11th floor, the elevator door opened, and the bodyguards went out first, standing on both sides of the elevator. Long Xinyu, Rao Xian, and Shao Hui then came out.
Long Xinyu’s private apartment was one apartment per floor. Going out of the elevator was a lobby of more than ten square meters. Long Xinyu walked over and pressed the fingerprint lock on the door while turning back to Rao Xian and saying, “Go in and change your clothes first, then you…” His words suddenly stopped when he saw the surprised expressions on Rao Xian and their faces. Long Xinyu turned his head:
His apartment was a duplex. The first floor was the living room, and there were stairs next to it leading to the second floor. At this time, a half-naked man was hanging at the entrance of the hall from the second floor to the first floor.
The woman’s lower body was completely naked, and the words “Spirit Storage” were engraved on her chest. The two words were carved into the flesh, bloody, and her eyes were dug out, leaving only two bloody holes. Blood flowed up her eye sockets and gathered with the bloodstains under her chest, dripping down the woman’s feet. The rope was tied to the railing on the second floor. It was very long. As the door opened and closed, the slight airflow caused the hanging woman’s body to sway slightly…
Long Xinyu: “…”
Long Xinyu sat on the shoe-changing stool at the door smoking, his face gloomy and terrifying as he watched a group of police officers collecting evidence in the house.
Shao Hui said to Rao Xian a little helplessly, “Captain, Long Xinyu has the standard Conan physique. Wherever he goes, living people die!”
Rao Xian sighed slightly: “Has the identity of the deceased been determined?”
Shao Hui nodded: “Confirmed. There was a cell phone in the deceased’s pocket, and a driver’s license. His name is Liang Qin, Luo Pingping’s manager.”
“It’s Luo Pingping again!” Long Xinyu just went to help Luo Pingping out of trouble, and he was caught in these murder cases. Rao Xian didn’t know what to say anymore.
Shao Hui was also very helpless: “Long Xinyu didn’t kill Luo Pingping, so why is she pestering him? Liang Qin’s blood is still flowing, he just died, but Captain, I’m telling you, Long Xinyu has been with me since last night, he’s not the murderer, but the person died in his house, this… Has Long Xinyu provoked some perverted serial killer!”
Seeing that Long Xinyu over there had finished smoking one cigarette and quickly took out another one to light, Rao Xian didn’t answer Shao Hui, but walked over to Long Xinyu and said, “Don’t smoke, smoking won’t solve the problem.”
Long Xinyu didn’t speak.
Rao Xian sighed softly: “The deceased is called Liang Qin, and he is Luo Pingping’s manager!”
“It’s Luo Pingping again,” Long Xinyu’s reaction was the same as Rao Xian’s. He hummed softly, then raised his eyes to look at Rao Xian, making Rao Xian stunned. At this time, Long Xinyu’s eyes were sharp, completely different from his usual carefree appearance. Even his entire temperament had changed, like a sword out of its sheath, with a sharp edge.
Long Xinyu played with the cigarette in his hand. He said, “Rao Xian, you told me that I am a good person, so I have always insisted on the bottom line of being a good person. But if being a good person means enduring these things, I would rather be a bad person. This ‘spirit’ has already provoked me, and I will find it.”
Long Xinyu’s words shocked Rao Xian: “What are you going to do?”
Long Xinyu’s eyes were filled with an unusual firmness, and he uttered a few words in a deep voice: “Catch ghosts and destroy spirits in my own way!”
Three days later, a memorial event for Luo Pingping was held in the small cemetery where Luo Pingping was buried.
The organizer was Luo Pingping’s company, Li Family Company. The lightweight guests who attended were Long Xinyu, the vice president of Long Family, and Luo Wenwen, Luo Pingping’s sister. The theme of the memorial service was “Starting Point.” Some media, Luo Pingping’s fans, and members of the fan club were invited to participate. It was said that the investigation process and truth of Luo Pingping’s murder case would be announced, and then a memorial service would be held to commemorate the popular female artist who was murdered at a young age.
In winter, the weather was very cold. The cemetery was not large, but the trees were towering, and some evergreen shrubs were trimmed elegantly. Electronic screens and sacrificial boards were set up along the road leading to the venue. The screens showed clips of Luo Pingping’s concerts during her lifetime. The sacrificial boards had Luo Pingping’s photos, and clusters of bouquets, prayer candles placed by fans, Luo Pingping’s personal belongings, etc. were placed under the sacrificial boards.
At 9:00 AM, the memorial service was held outside the auditorium of the cemetery. A dozen or so members of the fan club and support club attended, all young students.
At 9:30 AM, Luo Pingping’s songs and videos were played in the auditorium over and over again, but there were not many people, and even the organizers did not appear. Even the media that had been promised did not arrive.
At 10:00 AM, the person who had just greeted them was also gone. In the small auditorium, only a dozen or so members of the support club were standing there. There were some complaints among the crowd. Just when everyone was complaining, the singing stopped, and the large screen in the auditorium suddenly lit up and began to play a video——
First, there was a complete compilation of Luo Pingping being harassed by Min Jun on the night of her murder, followed by the clip of her being taken away by Xu Ming, and the news released by the police confirming the murder of female star Luo Pingping, followed by some rumors on the Internet, as well as some rumors that Long Xinyu was the murderer, and various extreme remarks.
Then, large characters suddenly popped up on the screen:
Five months after Luo Pingping’s murder, from February 3rd to February 15th, within 12 days, Mr. Long Xinyu successively received human skulls, curses, puppet dolls, paintings, razor blades, and blood letters!
Each item on the screen had a close-up. These skulls and blood letters were enlarged, appearing horribly hideous.
Then the screen flashed: On the evening of February 16th, Li Guang, the president of Li Family Company, had a car accident. Mr. Li Guang’s driver died on the spot. The driver who caused the accident, Cai Dong, died while being taken to the hospital. After police investigation and verification, Cai Dong’s brakes were damaged, his navigation was hacked, and his GPS gave random directions. Cai Dong was unable to control the vehicle at the time, causing Cai Dong’s car to crash directly into Li Guang’s car. The driver, Cai Dong, was seriously injured and died while being taken to the hospital. At the same time, a card with “Curse of the Undead” was found on Cai Dong. Cai Dong was the contact person for Luo Pingping’s fan club.
On the screen, there was footage from the driving recorder. Li Guang’s car was driving, and a car on the opposite side crashed straight into Li Guang’s car. Then there was a shaking screen and a huge impact sound, followed by chaotic rescue scenes. The screen flashed a few times before going blank.
Soon, the next video appeared: On February 17th, in Long Family’s underground parking lot, a girl named Zhang Li wearing a gray-pink coat had a dispute with a woman in the same car in front of Long Xinyu’s car. Zhang Li was stabbed three times in the abdomen and died from excessive blood loss. Immediately, the screen showed the scene of Zhang Li arguing with “Luo Pingping” in the underground parking lot, as well as the moment Zhang Li was stabbed and “Luo Pingping” looked up.
When the video was played here, the members of the fan club and support club began to whisper to each other.
The screen flashed, and on the same day, February 17th, Luo Pingping’s manager, Liang Qin, was found hanged in Long Xinyu’s house, with his eyes gouged out and the words “Undead” engraved on his body. The community surveillance camera captured a heavily made-up woman dragging a suitcase and wearing sunglasses.
Who、is、this、woman?
One word at a time popped up on the screen.
What、does、she、want、to、do?
The curse of the undead, whose curse is it?
Another question popped up, and the screen froze there.
